I agree. Thanks. But, I read the PDFs from Chris (thanks), and I would have failed that in medical school.
That was the most confusing thing I ever read.
Can you clear ONE THING up for me?
It says something about bringing up something new or whatever from PMH, PSH, and FH (or SH?). But, on the E & M helper, it's a box not a radio button. I can get a 99214 (playing around in it) without it. I am confused. Especially in pediatrics where broken left arm in 2010 doesn't change much.
Oh, also, I won't lie that when I am in the room trying to get a deserved 99214, the degree of decision making is also difficult for me. I am not sure how I would do that quickly.
One thing I have asked for the program for ten years is to have a necessary screen or option where when you sign the chart and enter the CPT code, you HAVE to select a degree of decision making. Because now when you select it, it tends to stay the same, and you end up with a moderate instead of straightforward for canker sore, because it stays the same and you don't remember to change it.
